	Remake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In film, a remake is a newer version of a previously released film or a newer version of the source (play, novel, story, etc.) of a previously made film.
		The term "remake" is generally used in reference to a movie which uses an earlier movie as the main source material, rather than in reference to a second, later movie based on the same source.
		With the exception of remakes such as 1998's Psycho, which is a shot-for-shot recreation of the 1960 film, remakes generally make significant character, plot, and theme changes.

		Another deleted scene in the 2005 remake comes just after the rescue party escaped the brontosaurus stampede: they then try to cross a swamp on some improvised rafts, and then are attacked by a water creature of some kind.
		Unlike in both the 1933 original and the 1976 remake, the natives are never seen again in the 2005 remake after the rescue party force their way to the wall to rescue Ann.

		I think John Carpenter's remake of Thing from Another World (aka "The Thing") was better than the original.

	Bruce Lee - a remake for the PC
		Bruce Lee was also the first high profile C64 remake to hit the hard drives of other 'communities' who before through pig-headedness or just plain ignorance may have never touched a C64 game with a barge pole - especially the Spectrum communtiy which is flooded with remakes of it's own.
		This remake is recommended for both C64 fans and daring fans of rival machines who wish to touch their toe into the waters of the C64 world.
		I will be leaving this remake alone for the foreseeable future as any time I am spending on my computer is taken up with playing Dark Age of Camelot.

	Box Office Prophets: My Sassy Girl Review
		Though this space has been known to lament about the tendency for Hollywood to take foreign material and turn it into inferior product, during the last year there were a handful of films that used the formula in a far more positive manner than usual.
		The remakes of Insomnia, Solaris and the aforementioned Ring were all handled in a way that translated the material into a rubric acceptable to American audiences without trampling on the essence of the original.
		It’s near impossible not to care about this couple as they work their way through their strange relationship, and since the outcome is never assured you can’t help but find yourself rooting for these two crazy kids.

	IGN Boards - ~~NOMURA WANTS TO MAKE A FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE~~
		Yes,maybe he wants to make a remake,but he has many projects that he is working on now and hasn't even begun to work on yet,so it wouldn't be out til like the end of the Ps3's cycle or the beginning of the Ps4's.
		It would be cool if they extended it and made AC a playable part after you kill Sephiroth in northern crater, it says "two years later" and then the game continues for another 3-5 hours worth of gameplay where you fight kadaj and sephiroth again for the last time and so on...
		I'd like to see a remake within the prime of the PS3 rather than the beginning when developers are still getting used to the technology capabilites.

	Brainwash, Rinse, Repeat - The improbable integrity of the new Manchurian Candidate. By David Edelstein
		When I heard that Jonathan Demme planned to remake John Frankenheimer's sensational 1962 thriller The Manchurian Candidate, I passed in about a minute through four stages of Kübler-Rossian grief: denial ("He can't be that stupid"), anger ("Is nothing sacred?"), bargaining ("I just won't see the damn thing"), and depression ("Is he that desperate?").
		Beautifully made and unsurpassingly creepy, it's the rare remake with something contemporary to add.
		The terrible new threat in Demme's remake isn't Reds or terrorists but a multinational conglomerate—which functions, as the recent documentary The Corporation contends, with the same level of conscience as a DSM-IV textbook psychopath.

		February 4, 1999 Confirming rumors that were previously reported in the Insider back on January 21, Warner Bros. is moving forward on a live–action remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
		As far as the reasons for the remake that it offers: If I were a little more of a cynic I might venture to comment that the success of other Dahl films only points to one type of potential to be realized with this remake – FINANCIAL.
		One of the reasons behind the approval of the remake by his estate, apparently, has been to make a version that was more true to Dahl's original vision.

	USATODAY.com - The 'Dawn' of a mindless remake (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Violent even for the genre, the '79 version was a much-debated follow-up to 1968's superior Night of the Living Dead, whose fl-and-white photography was far more otherworldly than subsequent color versions.
		But he wounds a movie that's just a bit better than tolerable with an end-credits coda that pays cheap ineffectual homage to another horror film, this one of the modern era.
		Yet overall, this Dead is zippier than 1995's retake on Village of the Damned and somewhat less junky than the recent remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

		The original, adapted from a hit stage play by Maxwell Anderson, was one of the first to apply Freudian psychology to the psyche of a kid killer, and shocked audiences at the time.
		Janklow said the key that unlocked the remake deal was the DVD re-release, because it put the film back on the radar of WB brass.
